Abstract: Emails modeled as conversations are displayed in a user interface that enables users to read and interact with the emails within a conversation intuitively. Conversation breaks, such as those in an in-reply-to relationship between messages, are presented utilizing extra spaces between displayed message parts, excerpts of parent messages displayed above the message following the break, and/or graphical elements like broken connectors. Relationships between a user selected message and its parent within the conversation defined relationship are illustrated using graphical elements or schemes that focus on the selected message to avoid confusion due to information overload.

Abstract: A notification subscription application allows a subscriber to maintain event notification continuity in a load-balanced work environment. The notification subscription application proactively provides the subscriber notifications indicating an operating status of the subscription. In this manner, subscribers can reduce the number of missed event notifications, by readily reestablishing a subscription when required. The notification service associates markers with events such that event notifications occurring during a period of time when the notification subscription is not operating properly can be identified when the subscription is reestablished.
